On Divine Foreknowledge

Part IV of the Concordia

By: Luis de Molina

Luis de Molina was a leading figure in the remarkable sixteenth-century revival of Scholasticism on the Iberian peninsula. Molina is best known for his innovative theory of middle knowledge. Alfred J. Freddoso's extensive introductory essay clears up common misconceptions about Molina's theory, defends it against both philosophical and theological objections, and makes it accessible to contemporary readers.

On Slavery and the Slave Trade

De Iustitia Et Iure, Book 1, Treatise 2, Disputations 32?40

By: Luis de Molina

In his monumental On Justice and Rights, the Jesuit Luis de Molina (1535-1600) discussed the legal and ethical aspects of the Portuguese trade in African and Asian enslaved persons. Molina surveys, develops, and problematizes the criteria necessary for the legitimate possession, sale, and purchase of human freedom. He insists that, even under legally valid slavery, persons who have sold or lost their freedom have inalienable rights as human beings, such as the freedom to make contracts, to marry, and even, under certain circumstances, to sue their owners in court. Molina also devotes attention to the ways in which slavery could be ended and whether and under what circumstances slaves had the right to escape from their owners. Well informed about the political structures and customs of many peoples in Africa, as well as Japan, China, and India, Molina paints a vivid and detailed picture of Portuguese trade. He gives specific accounts of the origins and development of the slave trade, region by region, and of the nature of the relationship between local rulers and the Portuguese kingdom. In doing so, he carefully describes the deception, coercion, and general indifference that pervades this trade regarding the rights to freedom of these people. It also attempts to identify the political, ecclesiastical, and market agents involved in this great injustice and their varying degrees of culpability. While Molina does not condemn slavery as a legal institution, the deeply flawed and even immoral behavior of sellers, buyers, regulators, and political rulers both in Portugal and in the slave-supplying regions that Molina denounces casts a heavy shadow on the morality of the trade.

Death by Effigy

A Case from the Mexican Inquisition

By: Luis R. Corteguera

On July 21, 1578, the Mexican town of Tecamachalco awoke to news of a scandal. A doll-like effigy hung from the door of the town's church. Its two-faced head had black chicken feathers instead of hair. Each mouth had a tongue sewn onto it, one with a forked end, the other with a gag tied around it. Signs and symbols adorned the effigy, including a sambenito, the garment that the Inquisition imposed on heretics. Below the effigy lay a pile of firewood. Taken together, the effigy, signs, and symbols conveyed a deadly message: the victim of the scandal was a Jew who should burn at the stake. Over the course of four years, inquisitors conducted nine trials and interrogated dozens of witnesses, whose testimonials revealed a vivid portrait of friendship, love, hatred, and the power of rumor in a Mexican colonial town. A story of dishonor and revenge, Death by Effigy also reveals the power of the Inquisition's symbols, their susceptibility to theft and misuse, and the terrible consequences of doing so in the New World. Recently established and anxious to assert its authority, the Mexican Inquisition relentlessly pursued the perpetrators. Lying, forgery, defamation, rape, theft, and physical aggression did not concern the Inquisition as much as the misuse of the Holy Office's name, whose political mission required defending its symbols. Drawing on inquisitorial papers from the Mexican Inquisition's archive, Luis R. Corteguera weaves a rich narrative that leads readers into a world vastly different from our own, one in which symbols were as powerful as the sword.

Quimera

Colección Poesías Del Presidio

By: Luis L. Arroyo,Luis Leonardo Arroyo

Quimera es el segundo de los diez tomos de la Coleccin Poesas del Presidio compuesta por el Preso Poltico Plantado, Luis L. Arroyo durante sus 27 aos de Prisin Poltica en Cuba, narrando cotidianidades e incidencias de su estancia en prisin. Quimera no es un poemario de testimonios sobre el Presidio Poltico Cubano y, sin embargo, es un libro de testimonios. Quimera no es un libro temtico y, sin embargo, es un poemario temtico. Quimera no es un libro de testimonios sobre los crmenes cometidos por el Comunismo, Fidel y Ral Castro contra el Presidio Poltico Cubano, porque la Letra de sus poemas no establece denuncia alguna de los horrores vividos,... ni describe ningn acto de barbarie. Sin embargo, el Espritu de la Letra de cada poema, s encarna un fuerte testimonio que demuestra que los presos polticos cubanos jams perdieron su condicin de seres humanos con todos sus valores ticos de familia, de fraternidad, de solidaridad, de humanismo, de libertad,... a pesar de los horrores dantescos a que eran sometidos (y continan sometiendo a los presos actuales) por parte del Comunismo, de Fidel y de Ral Castro dentro del trance de la implantacin del marxismo-leninismo en Cuba y la conversin de sta en Colonia de Rusia, lo que conllevaba la imposicin, en las crceles cubanas, del salvaje y barbrico y pulverizante Sistema Penitenciario Ruso que se basaba en la aniquilacin del Preso medinate un rgimen pseudocientfico de ciclos de experimentos biolgicos, qumicos, dietticos, psicolgicos,... que provocaban enfermedades y hasta la muerte, inasistencia mdica,... amn de torturas fsicas, incomunicacin, aislamiento en hermtica soledumbre, trabajos forzados, golpizas, bayonetenamientos, baleamientos y hasta el asesinato directo,... todo esto diriguido a quebrarle al preso su espritu de resistencia fsica, ideolgica y moral y desajustarlo psquicamente, embrutecerlo, enajenarlo, despersonalizalo -y tratar de adoctrinarlo de ser posible- para, convertido en una Cosa y Cosificado, anularlo para siempre. Sin embargo, Quimera no da testimonios de ese socipata rgimen penitenciario; pero cada uno de sus poemas s da testimonio de que el preso, en pleno infierno, se expresaba con un Lenguaje libre de los efectos demoledores de la Prisin Comunista, los que no lograban daarle la Conciencia, por lo que su Poesa poda brotar sin la influencia deprimente de las torturas, sin plaidos, amarguras, resentimientos, odio, revanchismo... Quimera es un Canto a la Vida, al Amor a la Familia, a la Fe en Dios, a la Filosofa, a la Idiosincrasia y Cultura del Cubano, a las Remembranzas, a las Quimeras del Hombre en su Privacin... Y Quimera es temtica, porque mantiene la lnea expresada de principio a fin. Leda Quimera, el Lector podra decir que Quimera es, de por s, un inequvoco Testimonio de que, en todo tiempo y lugar, el Ser Humano posee la capacidad y fortleza sobradas para no sucumbir y mantener inclume sus sentimientos a pesar de las circunstancias.

Repensar la sostenibilidad

By: ENRÍQUEZ SÁNCHEZ José María ,DUCE DÍAZ Carmen ,MIGUEL GONZÁLEZ Luis Javier

La sostenibilidad, cualidad de lo sostenible, hace referencia a un proceso que puede alargarse en el tiempo. Cuando este proceso lo referimos a cuestiones socio-ecológicas, comprobamos cómo, desde hace ya largo tiempo, no son pocas las voces acreditadas que han puesto sobre aviso del progresivo deterioro ecológico y sus consecuencias perjudiciales para la vida humana. Nuestra obra parte de estas negatividades para repensar la idea de sostenibilidad en sus justos términos, y así dar cabida a una variedad de aportaciones que ayuden a restituimos dentro de los límites ecosistémicos.

Modes of the Tragic in Spanish Cinema

By: Luis M. González

This book focuses on expressions of the tragic in Spanish cinema. Its main premise is that elements from the classical and modern tragic tradition persist and permeate many of the cultural works created in Spain, especially the films on which the book centers this study. The inscrutability and indolence of the gods, the mutability of fortune, the recurrent narratives of fall and redemption, the unavoidable clash between ethical forces, the tension between free will and fate, the violent resolution of both internal and external conflicts, and the overwhelming feelings of guilt that haunt the tragic heroine/hero are consistent aspects that traverse Spanish cinema as a response to universal queries about human suffering and death.

The Atlantic World and the Manila Galleons

Circulation, Market, and Consumption of Asian Goods in the Spanish Empire, 1565–1650

By: José Luis Gasch-Tomás

Studies of the trade between the Atlantic World and Asia during the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries typically focus on the exchanges between Atlantic European countries – especially Portugal, the Netherlands and England – and Asia across the Cape route. In The Atlantic World and the Manila Galleons. Circulation, Market, and Consumption of Asian Goods in the Spanish Empire, 1565-1650, José L. Gasch-Tomás offers a new approach to understanding the connections between the Atlantic World and Asia. By drawing attention to the trans-Pacific trade between the Americas and the Philippines, the re-exportation of Asian goods from New Spain to Castile, and the consumption of Chinese silk, Chinese porcelain and Japanese furnishings in New Spain and Seville, this book discloses how New Spanish cities and elites were main components of the spread of taste for Asian goods in the Spanish Empire. This book reveals how New Spanish family and commercial networks channelled the market formation of Asian goods in the Atlantic World around 1600.

The Medieval Heritage of Mexico

By: Luis Weckmann

This book examines the medieval legacy that influences life in Spanish-speaking North America to the present day. Focusing on the period from 1517?the expedition of Hernandez de Cordoba?to the middle of the seventeenth century, Weckmann describes how explorers, administrators, judges, and clergy introduced to the New World a culture that was essentially medieval. That the transplanted culture differentiated itself from that of Spain is due to the resistance of the indigenous cultures of Mexico.

The Sublime South

Andalusia, Orientalism, and the Making of Modern Spain

By: Jose Luis Venegas

The Sublime South: Andalusia, Orientalism, and the Making of Modern Spain is the first systematic study on cultural images of Andalusia as Spain’s “Orient” and the impact they have had on nation-building and modernization since the late nineteenth century. While a wealth of studies have examined how northern Europeans from the Romantic period viewed Spain and Andalusia as Europe’s Orient, little attention has been paid to how contemporary Spanish artists and intellectuals assimilated Romantic legacies to engage in an internal form of orientalism. José Luis Venegas deftly explores Spain’s shifting engagements with oriental identity and otherness by looking, not just beyond national, ethnic, and racial borders, but at a territory that is institutionally embedded in the nation-state while symbolically placed between inclusion and abjection. The Sublime South shifts the focus and scale of Edward Said’s notion of orientalism by examining how it evolves and manifests transnationally, as the result of European colonialism in Africa and Asia, and intra-nationally, in a European yet orientalized country. Finally, Venegas challenges ethnocentric notions of Iberian cultures and fosters an understanding of the encounters between Western and Muslim cultures beyond opposing, and often mutually negating, essentialisms.

Culture and Customs of Cuba

By: William Luis

Cuba continues to loom large in U.S. consciousness and politics. Culture and Customs of Cuba is a much-needed resource to give students and other readers an in-depth view of our important island neighbor. Luis, of Cuban descent, provides detailed, clear insight into Cuban culture in its historical context. Religion, customs, economy, media, performing and creative arts, and cinema are some of the many topics discussed. Included in this discussion are contributions of Cubans in exile which Luis considers an inherent part of Cuban culture. Encouraging a wider understanding of Cuba, this volume describes and highlights the cultures and customs of the island. Cuba, as one will learn while reading this book, is an island of many cultural customs that have evolved out of a rich history. Presented in the context of three interrelated periods in Cuban history: the Colonial, the Republic, and Castro's Revolution, this book explores Cuba's dynamic culture. Luis also notes the spread of Cuban culture abroad, where a significant part of the Cuban population has lived since the earl 19th century. Students and others interested in this country will find this book to be extraordinarily helpful and informative.
